Reality sets in

Sunday March 1, 2009



Brent's condition on Saturday night was stable to the point that the third surgery was scheduled for Sunday morning. However, early Sunday morning, a fever set in. Many people prayed and just before the surgery his fever went down. The surgery was to remove some of the scarring and to repair some of the "insides". Brent's surgery was four hours and there was a long recovery wait. Scot and Carolyn began to feel the pressure of the situation and their new reality. However, because of their faith, they are strong and holding up well. Please pray for strength for them. Brent's surgery was successful and he is resting well.

Reality set in for alot of the Peterson's friends at Elim Tabernacle today. Appropriately and with great sensitivity we announced to the Elim family the events that occurred with the Peterson's. Those who know this family well - there was lots of tears and emotional moments. Together, as a church we gathered to pray for Brent and his family.

More family members and friends arrived in Regina to offer support to the family. There is also tremendous support through emails, facebook and phone calls. We will make sure these messages are sent to the family.

Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted"
